Mantel and Socks!

I finished decorating the mantel the other day but it was raining and the room was dark. I decided to wait until a sunny day to take a picture of it. Well here it is:







Now for the sock part of the title of this post. I haven't finished the socks but I thought I would give you a glimpse of what I've been working on.



Here is what I've got done so far!


This is a closeup of the top of the sock.


Here's the bottom half.

I will post the pair when I have them completed.

Everyone have a great evening!!

  2. I love all the pumpkins and the little ghost. Your sock looks good. Have you made socks before? I hear they're rather hard to do.

  4. Donnie-I have never made socks before and what a time I had because of my lack of concentration after my car accident! Now that I can concentrate I think I would not have had as much of a problem. I don't use double pointed needles I used 1 circular needle and the "magic loop" method.

  7. Your mantle looks so pretty! It is all arranged so nice with your pumpkins and the little ghost!

    Your socks are coming along and I love the soft blue! My mom used to knit....I never did learn! It always looked so hard!

  11. Love the mantel! I guess it is getting time to try knitting again. I try every year and have never succeeded in anything but a couple of scarves. Still, it is a calming activity, and maybe one day I'll learn to follow a pattern!
